Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of insulating by impregnating electrical conductors using isocyanurate and oxazolidone ring resins, in which a ribbon of fabric or glass felt, or plastic film, is wound around the conductors. porous mica paper, the ribbon is impregnated with a varnish comprising a polymerizable liquid resin, then the impregnated ribbon is subjected to a polymerization heat treatment.
  • the present invention aims to provide a very flexible and mechanically resistant tape insulation, having no brittleness, and easy to wrap around the conductors using a machine.
  • the method according to the invention is characterized in that the ribbon of a bonding powder is initially added between the fabric or glass felt, or plastic film, and the porous mica paper, this bonding powder being formed of a polymer with chains of oxazolidone groups containing epoxy end groups, and in that the liquid polymerizable resin of the varnish contains essentially isocyanates which will transform into isocyanurate groups during the polymerization.
  • the bonding powder is added to the tape in a proportion of approximately 20% by weight.
  • the bonding powder is added to the ribbon by the wet method, preferably in dissolution in methyl ethyl ketone.
  • the tape is free of non-stick interlayer.
  • the impregnation varnish is free of solvent.
  • the tape bonding powder is obtained by reacting an epoxy resin on an isocyanate in the presence of a condensation catalyst, then mixing the condensation product with an epoxy resin.
  • Adding to the mixture of the condensation product and an epoxy resin a reaction catalyst for the epoxy groups on the isocyanate groups.
  • the impregnating varnish based on isocyanate derivatives is added with a small amount of epoxy derivatives and a stabilizer.
  • the method of the invention makes it possible to form, within the insulating wall of the conductor, a resin with a controlled structure comprising on the one hand linear polymer blocks with oxazolidone sequences, mainly concentrated in the micaceous ribbon, on the other hand crosslinked polymer blocks with isocyanurate sequences, provided by the impregnation varnish, which will serve as nodes for the formation of a three-dimensional macromolecular network.
  • the fact of using a bonding powder consisting of an oxazolidone chained resin with epoxy end groups ensures very good bonding between the glass fabric or felt, or the plastic film, and the mica paper, due to the good wettability of mica by such a resin and of its strong adhesive power on glass, which is stored at high temperature, up to above 200 ° C.
  • the ribbon formed has very great flexibility, its binder being a polymer linear of thermoplastic nature. This flexibility greatly facilitates its installation on thin conductors.
  • the impregnating varnish is one-component, solvent-free. It is very stable at room temperature, where its viscosity is low enough to allow it to easily permeate the wrapped winding.
  • This varnish becomes very reactive around 150 ° C in the presence of the active sites of the ribbon polymer network. This promotes gelling of the impregnating resin and leads to low consumption of the impregnating varnish.
  • the epoxy functions present in the tape react quickly with the impregnation varnish by forming two types of heterocycles, including mainly isocyanurates which stiffen the resin, even in the absence of catalyst. It is even preferable that the varnish does not contain a catalyst.
  • the heterocycles thus formed provide a gain in thermal and mechanical resistance compared to the silicone insulators often used in similar applications.
  • the powder is obtained by reacting an epoxy liquid resin sold under the designation Epon 827 by SHELL CHEMICAL Co and toluene diisocyanate in the presence of benzyltrimethylammonium chloride in ethanol.
  • Epon 827 an epoxy liquid resin sold under the designation Epon 827 by SHELL CHEMICAL Co
  • toluene diisocyanate an epoxy liquid resin sold under the designation Epon 827 by SHELL CHEMICAL Co
  • toluene diisocyanate toluene diisocyanate
  • benzyltrimethylammonium chloride in ethanol.
  • This product is then mixed with unmodified epoxy resins and dissolved in methyl ethyl ketone to facilitate the manufacture of the ribbon, the proportions being - 30 parts of the polymer with chains of oxazolidone rings and epoxy endings.
  • EPON 827 - 150 parts of methyl ethyl ketone.
  • Oil breakdown tests gave a minimum dielectric strength of 39 kV, for an insulation thickness of less than 1 mm.
  • Example 1 The same ribbon is used as that described in part a) of Example 1.
  • the impregnation varnish consists solely of the polyisocyanate marketed under the designation OPA 235 by UP JOHN CHEMICAL Co.
  • a part of benzyl triethylammonium chloride can be added as a catalyst (without this being necessary).
  • a motorette produced under the same conditions as above has a minimum dielectric strength of 36 kV.
  • the structure of the tape is similar to that of Example 1, but its bonding resin is different.
  • a polymer with oxazolidone units containing epoxy end groups is first formed by reacting the cycloaliphatic epoxy resin sold by the company Ciba-Geigy under the designation CY-192 and toluene diisocyanate in the presence of benzyltrimethylammonium chloride in ethanol.
  • This product is mixed with a liquid epoxy resin and dissolved in methyl ethyl ketone for the production of the ribbon in the proportions - 105 parts of the above reaction product - 45 parts of CY-192 epoxy resin - 100 parts of methyl ethyl ketone.
  • a catalyst can be added to the ribbon, without this being necessary.
  • Example 2 The same varnish is used as in Example 1 and the impregnation, gelation and polymerization of the insulation are likewise carried out.
  • the minimum dielectric strength is 35 KV.
  • Example 1 The same mica paper and the same glass cloth are used as in Example 1.
  • the bonding powder is obtained by mixing the liquid cycloaliphatic epoxy resin sold by the company Ciba-Geigy under the designation CY-179 and the polyisocyanate OPA 235 already mentioned in Example 2, in the presence of lithium chloride in methanol.
  • This product is mixed with an epoxy resin and dissolved in methyl ethyl ketone.
  • Example 2 The same varnish is then used as in Example 1 and the impregnation, gelation and polymerization of the insulation are likewise carried out.
  • the minimum dielectric strength is 38 KV.
